I always love it when it is time for another Island Batik ambassador challenge. This month we were asked to make something with a Flying Geese design using one of the precuts that they sent us. One of the precuts I received was ideal for the project that I had in mind. Stay tuned while I show ...
I have a series over on my YouTube channel called Fast & Easy Quilt Blocks. This month I am doing a twist on a traditional Churn Dash block. I love the movement that the center section gives this design. Because of that, it is a bit modern and a bit traditional. The looks great with all ...
Last year I had the pleasure of unboxing one of the Sewers Club 1/4 yard subscription boxes. I loved the fabric I got and it has been put to good use! This year they have a new 1/2 yard option and they asked me to do an unboxing for them. More fabric! Bring it on! Join me as I unbox my Sewers ...

I love making unique projects with batik fabrics, so when I got the chance to make something new I put together this tutorial. As an Island Batik ambassador we are assigned a project a month and for this month we were told that we could do whatever we wanted to. That may be my favorite kind of ...
Here is a fun and traditional block that makes awesome secondary patterns. In my video I show you how to make the half square triangles using the eight at a time method. If you know how to use a different method and want to add more fabrics/colors to your block then go for it. This is a great ...
Hi Everyone! Welcome to my first post as a 2023 Island Batik Ambassador. This is my third year and I am just as excited and honored to be doing this as I was on my first year. Four times a year the ambassadors participate in a blog hop. We are asked to make a particular type of quilt and are ...
